An
excerpt:
"The art of
floor covering has developed through the ages so that the various classes of
rugs carry messages from ancient to modern civilization. Each period brought its
creation so that we have many varieties of handmade rugs from patchwork, the
earliest, to the crocheted rug, the latest contribution to floor coveringss and
this, several centuries old.
Crocheted rugs
have the best wearing properties and are most rapidly made. They are made either
in one unit or in several and then assembled. When making the final crochet
stitch the rug is complete. Requires no binding or lining.
The matching of
decorations in rooms is always considered by the woman of artistic taste.
Matching the bedroom linens, window draperies and coverings, are generally
considered first for harmony in color and design. On the pages following,
suggestions are offered for matching the floor covering with the patchwork
quilts. Many other creations along this line can be produced, but those
submitted will give an idea as to the possibilities of matching bed and floor
coverings..."
